Norton of the United States Treasury Department, which occurred in this city the 10th instant, has caused great sorrow to her relatives and friends. Mrs. | Norton was a zealous member of the F Street Baptist Church during twenty year past, and has borne in her life the more prominent characteristics of a true Chri tian woman. In the domestic or socia cirele, in the world or in the church, she exemplified the principles of her Christian faith, thus evidencing a heart that was ever loyal to the cause of Christianity. This impression has been left upon the minds of all who have known her best. As a wife, mother, sister or friend, Mrs. Norton has adorned her life and sphere with a fidelity that has left for her a fra- grant memory to soften the blow that her death inflicted upon her family, her church and a wide circle of kindred and friends. Her only son and child died some yea ago while a student at the Naval Acad at Annapolis, Md. Her husband survives Lyle, Stillman Moore, | her. ote lodeodietocionte otoctody 924, 926, 928 7th. 926, 928 7th, Tunning through Tunning through to 704-706 K st. to 704-706 K st. —- 50,000 yds more of imported dress goods the cost of cotton stuffs.

Practice of Slaughtering for Meat Cows Which Have Been Condemn- ed for Dairy Purposes. The following correspondence between the secretary of the District Veternary As- scciation and the health officer, through the office of the District Commisstoners, 1elative to infected meat, explains itself: “The konorable Commissioners of the District of Columbia. “Dear Sirs: At the last meeting of the Veterinary Association of the District of Columbia I wes direoted to forward to you a copy of a resolution which was passed relative to the public health of the District of Columbia. The resolution sets forth that tuberculosis exists to a large extent among the dairy cows in the District of Columbia, Marylard and Virginia, ai of which sections supply milk and meat to the city of Washington, D. C.; that good beef, free of disease, is plentiful and compara- tively cheap in this country, and that the slaughter of cows for meat purposes which have been condemned for dairy purposes on account of tubercvlosis is constantly oc- curring in tre abattoirs of the District and surrounding country, it is therefore the sense ‘of. the association that such meat is extremely dangerous for human con- sumption, and that no cows which have been used in dairies should be allowed to be slaughtered for food except under the inspection of a veterinary surgeon in the employ cf the District of Columbia.” — The communicaticn is signed by J. P. Turner, secretary. Health Officer Responds. The health’ officer says in reply: “Through the provizion, during the past year, of a sanitary and food inspector who must be a veterinary surgeon, and shall] act as inspector of live stock, the health department has been able to devote some attention to this branch of the inspection service for the first time in many ycars. The general character of stock killed was seed, nvst of the diseases found being such as would rot render the carcass or all of it unfit for food. The greatest prev- alence of serious disease was found in cows, which, having been condemned for dairy purposes, were disposed of for slaughter for use as food. While it is true that some such animals might be unfit for the former purpose, and yet used with impunity for the latter, trade of this sort Gemands the closest scrutiny. “In view of the fact that after slaughter and dressing for market it is in many cases extremely difficult if not impossible to de- termine whether meat has or has not come from diseased animals, it is practically necessary that the inspection be made be- fore or at the time of killing. With the imited force at the command of this de- partment, such inspection as has been made has extended to only a very small portion of the stock actually killed; and, in fact, without an unreasonable increase in the number of live stock inspected, it cannot be otherwise unless there be provided a pub- lic abattoir, and all slaughtering confined thereto, or unless private slaughter houses be put under the most rigid restrictions as to time of killing, etc. As it is believed that the former method is preferable, the recommendation contained in the annual report of this department for 1895, for the establishment of a public abattoir, is re- spectfully renewed.” 3 a SALOONS NEAR ALLEYS. Good Templars Ask That They Be Abolished. The excise board this morning received a series of resolutions adopted at a recent meeting of Minnehaha Lodge, No. 1, of the Independent Order of Good Templars, based upen statements in an article published in The Evening Star of October 1, headed “Criminal Records,” and signed “S.” It is stated in the preamble that in naming the catses which combine to produce that criminal record the writer of the article declares that ‘‘the illiterate negro, living among the fields, becomes the peaceful, qviet citizen and patient toiler, but tran: plant him to the city, with his mind un. tutored and his iniellect impoverished, to be driven by his social condition to the cheapest tenements of courts and alleys, he finds companionship with immoral women and joy in a bucket of beer.” After further quotations from the article relating to arrests for disorderly conduct, the presence of salcons in the vicinity of the courts and alleys and the sale of beer in buckets, the resciutions declare “Phat we, as Good Templars, invite the atten- tion of the excise board of the District of Columbia to this subject, and earnestly request and demand that they, in the in- terests of good government and the general welfare, and in the exercise of the discre- ticrary power given them by the law, shall refuse to grant further licenses or renew such to sell intoxicating liquors to places located near such courts and alleys as are inkabited by the untutored and mentally impoverished, or by the immoral and crim- inal classes, and to all persons who are shown to have carried on the ‘bucket’ or ‘growler’ trade with the residents of such places.” —— Diphtheria in Mt. Pleasant. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Allow one of your readers, who is well informed, to refute several of the state- ments in your last evening’s issue, under the startling head lines, “Fears that diph- theria may become epidemic in Mt. Pleas- ant.” Your correspondent learned of the Gahn case immediately it was known, and directly from a report spread in the John- son School, at the beginning of the disease, Mrs. Gahn having sent such report to the school as the reason for keeping her chil- Gren at home. Anti-toxine was at once administered, and at no stage of the child’s ailment was he really sick, and so isolated was he, that no other member of the family took the disease, and the patient has entirely re- covered. The Rose case is very recent, and the fae 1s not understood to be very seriously All the cases mentioned are widely scat- tered, in fact in an area of twenty blocks, but all the children went to the Johnson School, and in the opinion of the writer, every case emanated from that institution, as it is well known that there is no sewer- age connected with the building, id the children drink water from a hydrant on the premises, no doubt contaminated in scme way by the drainage from the school building. Any casual reader of the article in last night's Star would infer that Mt. Peasant, Columbia Heights and Holmead Manor, localities heretofore spoken of as the most healthful in or about our fair city and suburbs, were no longer the usual boasted-of and noted res{dential sections, where even the common ills that man is heir to were heretofore unknown, but if a crusade by the health authorities was made to the Johnsen School, and a careful inves- tigation made of the premises and an analysis made of the water drank by the children, it is reasonably certain the source of the trouble would be discovered to be en- tirely local. It is earnestly to be hoped that sewer facilities shall be furnished at the earliest possible date, and other sanitary precau- tions taken at once. L. H. M. _————— Officer Sutton Injured.

Murphy. was stopping at a hotel, but was willing to leave there and accept Keefer’s invitation to spend a few days at his home. Mrs. Keefer during a_ recent conversation told Murphy that she was soon going to open a lunch room. He ask- ed if she had the money for the expense, and she replied she had. “And I suppose you keep it in your pocket,” remarked Murphy in a joking way. “Indeed, I don’t,” Mrs. Keefer said. keep it in the middle bureau drawer.” The money remained in the middle bu- reau drawer until this morning, when it disappeared about breakfast time. ———— Edward Ehrmantraut, 40 years old, while at work in a new building at Columbia road and 14th street yesterday, had his right wrist broken by a piece of timber falling upon it.
